Marvellous! Billy Crystal wants a talk show

Finally! A performer who wants a late night talk show who might actually be suitable for the job, Billy Crystal reportedly has his big, setimental sappy, Yankees-loving heart set on Conan O'Brien's job when (and if) Conan takes over for Jay Leno on The Tonight Show in 2009.

Billy, who's already proven his interviewing skills in the guises of Joe Franklin, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Fernando, is a natural at the tender, youthful age of 59!

Our pals at the New York Post's Page Six say that if he doesn't manage to muscle his way into NBC (where he held up Saturday NightLive when it needed it most in the 1980s), he's looking for a five-year syndication gig.

And $20 million a year.

But you know what? Compared to Jimmy Kimmel and Carson Daly and that Scottish guy who follows Letterman, he could worth it.
